SCOPE OF WORKS OF THE CHECKER. This report present the review the structural design of structural key elements; 2.1 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 Design criteria Column load Pile working load and pile foundation Pile cap Column Floor slab and beam Structural steel roof trusses the following

3 DETAILED DESIGN CHECK 3.1 Site Investigation 3.1.1 General Geology and Sub Soil Condition Generally, the site is underlain by highly weathered rocks layers (grade IV and V) of slate, sandstone and shale. The first 5 meter to 8 meter stratum consisting of stiff/hard clay/silt with Standard Penetration No. ranges from 5 to 50 and subsequent layers consisting of weathered sandstone/shale. Total 7 numbers of deep boreholes were carried out on site. The depth of borehole are in the range of 12 meter to 15 meter below existing ground. Groundwater levels were monitored during progress of boreholes. The monitored groundwater levels are at about 6m below existing ground surface.

Foundation Design. The proposed building consisting of 3-storey (Fakulti Pengajian Antarabangsa) and single storey (Dewan Kuliah) buildings with column loads ranges from 850KN to about 2650KN. As the hard layer of soil at about 5 meter below ground using micropile as foundation is the right choice as the machine are capable to core through hard layer. Micropile also act as an anchor to tie the different soil layers to rock layer thus preventing possible soil movement. The size of micropile is 300mm in diameter, reinforced with API pipe 177.8mm outer diameter with wall thickness of 10mm. The design working load for pile is 90 tonnes. The design of micropile is based on BS 8081; structural strength of pile were design as short column by considering API pipe as structural element and grout act as corrosion protection to API pipe. The geotechnical design of pile are derived from friction between pile and surrounding soil. The design length of pile is 12 meter inclusive 3 meter bond length into hard layer (SPT > 50).

5.0 Structural Engineering Design For The Superstructure And The Substructure 5.1 Column Load The estimated service column load are in the range of 850KN for perimeter column to 2650KN for internal column which carries M&E room are acceptable. Number of piles in a group are generally 2 to 3 nos. are appropriate 5.2 Pile cap Concrete strength used for pile cap design is 35 N/mm2. The thickness of the pile cap adopted is typically 1000mm which correspond to the spacing of pile. The average percentage of reinforcement provided for pile cap to concrete area exceeded 0.5%. As the thickness of the pile cap is almost same as spacing of pile(3 x pile diameter) the shear stress across gross concrete section are well below limit as set out by BS 8110 (1997).

Column Typical columns sizes are 500x500 mm, 200x200 mm and 200x400mm . All columns were designed as cast-in-situ column Floor to floor height is 4m thus the clear height of column is 3.6 meter. The column were designed as un braced column. Concrete used for column construction is grade 35 with minimum cement content of 360 kg/m3. Reinforcement provided range from 1% to 2.4% of concrete gross section. All column were checked and complying to BS 8110 ultimate strength criteria. The interaction diagrams for column are shown in Appendix 3

Floor Slab and Beam. Ground to Level 3 are 200 mm. Part of at factory and transported to site. The act as permanent formwork during permanent slab structure with in-situ

All slab thickness from Level slab thickness were precast 75mm precast panel will construction stage and as topping.

Typical size of precast panel is 2400mm x 5100mm. The weight of precast panel generally about 2.2 tons. The panel were lifted to it position using normal mobile crane. The span of slab typically 6000mm. The slab were reinforced with mesh B10 at bottom layer and at top continuous supports. The cast-in-situ beams were placed at typical spacing 6m to received precast panel. The size of beam is 900mm wide by 600 mm depth. The span of beam generally 9000mm. The beam were reinforced with high tensile bars of T25. Alternative check using software RAPT were carried out on typical slab and beam found that the slab and beam are satisfactory. The long term deflection of slab found to acceptable which is around 18mm.

Structural Steel Roof Truss. Steel roof trusses were proposed to support the light weight metal roof. The load considered in designed are self-weight of truss, roof sheet, suspended ceiling and M&E services. The live load adopted as 0.25KN/m2 which complying UBBL recommendation. The span of trusses are 9m with depth of truss 1.2m thus giving span/depth of 8. For such span/depth ratio of truss, deflection is not critical. The steel section used are hot rolled complying to BS4; with minimum thickness of section of 4mm. The surface treatment again corrosion is according to the JKRs specification.

6.0

Conclusion 6.1 Foundation The design of micropile with 300 mm diameter reinforced with API pipe 177.8 x 10 mm wall thickness with working load for each pile of 90 tons are is appropriate and acceptable. 6.2 Superstructure All main structural elements were checked and found to be complying to the recommendations of current Code of Practice for serviceability and ultimate limit state conditions. The design for foundation and superstructure for the above building are acceptable and safe.
